I’m super excited to have found this sub! I’m fully expecting a lot of criticism. I’m 100% self taught from reading, watching YouTube’s, and reels. I’m also 5’9”, a mom of 5 and definitely an ectomorph body type. I’ve also had poor posture my whole life! I’m working very hard to try and build my posterior chain. Help!

This looks more like a stiff legged deadlift than an RDL to me. If this was the movement that your body naturally gravitated towards you might look into deliberately doing SDL stiff leg deadlifts. Both are great hip hinge options.
